Premier Giuseppe Conte's cabinet
is scheduled to meet at 19:30 on Friday to look at a first set
of measures to offset the economic impact of the coronavirus
outbreak, sources said.
A draft of a decree set to be approved features a six-month
suspension of utility bills for the areas hit by the epidemic.
It is also set to give small and medium-sized enterprises
priority access to funding.
There will also be a clampdown on attempts to cash in on the
crisis with speculative price hikes on products that are in high
demand because of the emergency, such as face masks.
